Gifted Status or Status Match and Rollover Medallion Qualification Miles
I plan to gift GM status to an associate between now and the end of this year. Let's assume she ends the year with 30,000 MQMs in her account. What will her rollover miles be? 30k? 5k? 0?

If she flies less than 25K miles however, none will roll over.

I wouldn't count on any rollover MQMs. The way I read it, they subtract 25k from your total if you are FO, 50k if GM, 75k if PM, 125k if DM, and whatever is left is your "rollover". So, if said associate is GM with only 30k MQMs, I would not expect any rollover. JMO

That's my understanding as well.

MQM rollover when gifting silver?
Okay, so I know that non-elite SM members won't be able to roll over any MQMs. What about when someone gifts you FO status? In my situation, I gifted FO status to my wife for my 100K award. She currently has ~15K MQMs this year. Will she be able to roll all of those over to next year? From looking at the rollover rules, it's not clear to me how that works. Maybe I'm missing something obvious?

Gifting status does not put MQMs into someone's account. Your current status with DL might have nothing to do with your MQMs earned this year or last.
If John gives Jane FO status Jane gets all the benefits of being Silver Medallion whether she has ever flown DL in the past or not. However, for Jane to re-qualify she must fly/earn 25K MQMs on her own. If Jane ends the year with 24K MQMs she will rollover nothing. If she ends the year with 26K MQMs she will qualify for a status that she already has, Silver, because John gave it too her. But she will get 1000 MQMs rolled over into 2010 (sometime in the spring).
If Jane earns 25K miles before Dec 31 this will not be "added to her FO status" making her GM.

Rollover MQMs GONE!!!
Did anyones MQMs disappear today?
My sister had 22k mqm that rolled over... Now they are gone now. She was a FO last year and did not push hard to make GM.
I guess we will call SMS.
